17-5 How are waves refracted? Write true if the statement is true. If the statement is false, change the underlined term to make the statement true. Write your answers in the spaces provided. 1. The bending of a wave is called reflection. 2. A light wave speeds up as it moves from a more dense to a less dense medium. 3. When a wave moves at an angle from a less dense medium to a more dense medium, it is bent away from the normal. 4. In order for a wave to be bent toward the normal, it must move at an angle from a more dense medium to a less dense medium. 5. Refraction is caused by a change in wave speed. 6. The laws of refraction describe how waves are bent when they move from one medium to another. 7. When a wave travels from air into water, it will bend away from the normal.

Answer Key CHAPTER 17: WAVES 17-1 What is a wave? 1. Waves transfer energy from one place to another. 2. Mechanical waves can only transfer energy through some form of matter. 3. When a mechanical wave moves through a medium, the particles of the medium do not travel with the wave. 4. Light waves can travel through empty space. 5. Air can serve as a medium for sound waves. 6. Radio waves are an example of electromagnetic waves. 1. water 2. energy 3. in small circles 4. The wood moves up and down with the water. It does not move forward with the wave. This is because the particles of a medium do not travel with a wave. Only the energy of the wave moves from one place to another. 17-2 How do waves travel through matter? 1. trough 2. high point 3. longitudinal 4. rarefaction 5. close together 6. transverse 1. transverse wave 2. 1: crest; 2: trough 3. longitudinal wave 4. 1: compression; 2: rarefaction 17-2 How do waves travel through matter? Enrichment Activity: Kinds of Waves 1. transverse 2. longitudinal 3. transverse 4. transverse 5. longitudinal 6. transverse (string vibrating) or longitudinal (sound wave produced) 7. longitudinal 8. transverse 17-3 What are the features of a wave? 1. 60 2. 0.5 3. 100 4. 7 5. 19.5 6. 6.2 7. 27.12 8. 1,102.5 9. 100.5 1. 1 m 2. 1 Hz 3. 1 m/s 4. 0.5 m 5. 2 Hz 6. 1 m/s 17-3 What are the features of a wave? Enrichment Activity: Properties of Waves PART A 1. wave B; twice as great as wave A 2. wave A; twice as great as wave B 3. wave B; 2 Hz, or 2 waves per second 4. 1 Hz, or 1 wave per second 5. Both have the same speed because the frequency of wave B is twice the frequency of wave A, but the wavelength of wave A is twice the wavelength of wave B. PART B 1. 70 2. 1 3. 2 4. 60 5. 400 6. 400 17-4 How are waves reflected? 1. wave that strikes a barrier 2. law that states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection 3. a line at a right angle to a barrier 4. an angle equal to 90 5. wave that bounces off a barrier 6. bouncing of a wave after striking a barrier 17-4 How are waves reflected? Enrichment Activity: Reflection 1. angle of incidence 2. angle of reflection 3. They must be equal. 4. the normal; It is at a right angle (90º) to the barrier. 5. 55º 6. Check students diagrams. The measure of angle r should be 55º. 7. The surface is very bumpy, instead of flat. 8. The incident waves are all parallel to one another, but the reflected waves are all going in different directions. 9. For each point on the barrier, the normal is different. As a result, the reflected waves go in different directions depending on the slant of the surface at that point. 10. They would all be parallel to one another.

Answer Key 17-5 How are waves refracted? 1. refraction 2. true 3. toward 4. away from 5. true 6. true 7. toward 1. Its speed would increase. 2. away from the normal 3. toward the normal; slow down 4. Waves speed up when they travel from a more dense medium into a less dense medium. The Big Idea 1. 18 meters higher than the average size of ocean waves 2. earthquakes or volcanic eruptions on the seafloor 3. thousands of kilometers 4. Tsunamis are safe for boats on the open ocean because their waves are only about 1 m high in deep water. However, when tsunamis get close to shore, their waves can be 18 m higher than normal, making it very dangerous for docked boats. 5. seismographs 1. Tsunamis occur most commonly in the Pacific Ocean because the Ring of Fire is located there; Earthquakes, which cause tsunamis, occur frequently in this region. 2. When a tsunami hits land, it is safer to be on high ground above the height of the tsunami because the tsunami is not likely to hit that area. Lower areas are more likely to be hit by the tsunami. CHAPTER 17: WAVES Chapter Test Interpreting Diagrams 1. transverse 2. longitudinal 3. reflection of a wave from a barrier 4. crests 5. troughs 6. compressions 7. rarefactions 8. The wave bounces back, or is reflected, from the barrier. Multiple Choice 1. b 2. d 3. a 4. a 5. d 6. c 7. a 8. c 9. b 10. a 11. a 12. d 13. b 14. c 15. c Written Response 16. The lily pad moves up and down in place as the wave passes by, but it does not move across the lake with the wave. This is because a wave is the movement of energy, not of matter. The water particles move in place as the wave passes by, and the lily pad shares the motion of the water particles. 17. One similarity is that sound and light waves both transfer energy. One difference is that sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through, while light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through empty space.
